Santa Rosa, CA – January 24, 2018 – Sonoma
County Clerk, William F. Rousseau, is urging residents displaced by the October
2017 wildfires to update their mailing address with the Registrar of Voters so
that they receive voting materials for upcoming elections.

“We
want to help voters who may have been impacted by the wildfires understand how
to update their voter registration. With thousands of voters displaced by the
recent wildfires, we want to ensure that everyone who wishes to participate in
the upcoming elections is given the opportunity to do so,” said William F.
Rousseau, Sonoma County Clerk.

Voters
who plan to return to their properties may retain the impacted residence
address in order to continue to vote in their original precinct, but will need
to update their temporary mailing address on their registration. Voters who do
not plan to return to their impacted property address should re-register at
their new permanent residence address.
